About Four Hundred Dollar. Subscribed on thn First Day—Government Help Wtinted for a Trail to ltosobery —Other Minor Item,. Some of our young mon got together the other night and organized au association to provide a skating rink for tho comiug winter, and went actively to work to carry it out, realizing the first, day nearly ?100, which they expect to increase another hundred, and with the assistance of volunteer work, should Ik* able to provide a first-class rink. It is not yet decided whether they will take a slice out of the town- site or a bight out of the bay. The next move .talked of is a petition to thi: government for a special grant to aid in surveying and building a trail from New Denver to Rosebery. The grade is easy, aud if properly surveyed, will form a starter for a wagon road, which now is a necessity for the cycler, the the carriage or tht; heavy freight. Lots of willing hands are ready to second the expected assistance of the government. A protest against taking water from Goat mountain by the claim owners may defer the installing of the water works for several months. S. Burgess has made a small shipment from the B.

When the C. P. R. was built it was decided by the Act that that tlie government wouhl havo no control of rates until the income of the company had reached 10 per cent per annum profit upon the actual capital expended in construction of tin-railway. A variety of interpretations have been given to this section of the Act. The subject has lieen under the consideration of the department of justice and the C. P. R. for some time, and a case has now beeu refined to the supreme court to be heard at the present term, at Ottawa, so as to obtain a decision as to what this section really means, and what is to be included in the words "actually expended inoonst ruction of the railway." and what portion of railway is included, that is. if it applies onlv to the original contract between Callender and Port Moody, or to railways authorized to be built afterwards. Copper in Manitoba. Prof. Pierre Gustav Kendall, a professor of mathematics in Tulane I ni* veraity, New Orleans, after completing a Bummer's outing in the wilds of Northern Manitoba, claims to have found a ledge of copper that runs -10 per cent and is quite large in extent. The ledge crops out on the surface, and while he did not go away up there on a mining expedition, the three of them and their guides managed to sink a small shaft on the vein. The ledge is located in a most impossible looking place, and, he says, "while we have taken the greatest precautions, legal and otherwise to protct our Bnd, 1 for one woultl be lust as well pleased if no one discovered our work until we take another ste inp securing it more firmly. Next year we will go In with the idea of working the mine, but, of course, the product of it will imt lie available until the railroad lino is pushed much nearer to the ledge than it is at present," Illil Nol Visit Slvri'u. Sir Thos. Shaughnessy, Wm. Whyte aud other members of tlie C, P R president's partv arrived in Nelson Friday night. They took tlie Arrow lake route bv way of Robson. Thoir private coaches passed through Slo can about midnight Friday '' bv the inspector, G. O. Buchanan. The beneficiaries are the Blue Bird, Black Prince, Canadian King, Bosun, Gold Bug, Florida, Fisher Maiden, Enterprise, Echo, Dundee, Delphine, Hartney group, Mohican, Miller Creek, Mercury, Marion, Lucky Boy, Ivanhoe, Horseshoe, Highland, Hewitt, North Star. Tho total amount of tho 22 cheques is about $28,000. The larger claimants are tho Highland, North Star, Ivanhoe and Enterprise. Tlie deduction that has been made for cost of administration amounts to nearly 4 per cent of the 40 per cent claims. A GOOD FIELD. Attention of Mining Men Attracted by Possibilities of Twelve Mile. Visits of leasers and mining men to ihe properties OU Twelvo Mile creek have become frequent of lato Three or four parties from Sandon and Spokane were over the ground last week, and it is not unlikely that something tangible may result. It is the generally accepted theory that the rich Ottawa mineral stone extends through that territory to Ten Mile, and a number of claims along that line show practically the same vein filling aud mineral as the Ottawa. The Kalispell, the first property on Tenmile to lie worked, is believed to lie ou this zone, and the locators wh worked it in 1894 got good returns from the ore shipped. The smelter returns gave them over 400 ounces in silver to the ton. Nothing has been ■Obtained from the work done on the north side of Ten Mile creek, but leasers a few years ago did well in the old workings on the south side. The original owners who have long since disposed of their interests, still have gnat faith in the property, and believe that if it is properly developed and managed handsome dividends will result. On Twelve Mile creek between the Kalispell and the Ottawa are a number of properties with creditable show (ngs, prominent among which are the Colorado, Myrtle group, Happy Medium group, V. ifc M., Botchelor, and the May and Sapphire. On the Colorado a rich strike was made ilur- ,*>g the summer, from which a shipment of wven tons, rutiniug 113 ounces to the ton, was taken out during lieaelopment work. While the returns were not up to the expectation** of the owners, yet they were good enough to warrant them in putting up camps, preparatory to working the shoot they have in sight, and from which they expect much better returns. It is only a short time since the locators of the Myrtle group cut through their lead in the crosscut tunnel of over 400 feet driven by them during the past winter and summer. It was a big undertaking for prospectors, but their showing in the workings from the shaft justified them. They have encountered some good ore and the ledge is over GO feet in width. Big results may be expected at any time from the drifting now going on there. A oouple of men are working on the May, owned by the Sapphire Gold Mines Co. of Detroit, but tho balance a re idle. There are strong ledges and high- grade ore on all of the properties men- Honed, and those who have been studying the lay of the ground and the charades of the mineral, believe there will Im* more dividend pavers along this zone if systematic work is done. and not available for stoping. About 40 sacks have been takeu out of the drift since the ore was eucouuntered nnd ten inches show in the bottom at the face. The lease does not expire until December 31, 1905, and the holtlers intend to work this shoot from below if it does not como higher after further drifting. IIAVM LOST THEIR DOSS. Men at Chapleau Mill Think Clean-up Ii Gone. Their Mott* Valuable. Silver is again on the rise attained 68* Tuesday, the since August 18th, when it f>8.l cents. having highest reached The men working at the Chapleau mill are wondering what has become of E. Savage, or, to bo more exact, they want to know what has become of tlie gold he took with him and in which tliey claini an interest as producers. Something like $900 in gold had lieen the result of tho run at the stamp mill from the stuff gathered from the mine dump and along the tramway. The gold was entrusted to Savage to take to Neisou and change into legal tender, and he was to return and give the two men who did all the work their share. That was several weeks ago, and he has not returned yet, nor have they received any word from or trace of Mr. Savage since leaving Nelson. Truly the Chapleau is haviug a hard time. It has been hampered ever since it left the hands of the original owners by all sorts of, to put it iu mild words, extravagance mismanagement and neglect. Mining adventurers have plunged it into debt and other adventurers who are uot miners have put it deeper in debt. To make matters worse the bush fires have destroyed tho mine buildings and damaged the tramway. Now the men to whom credit is due for haviug saved the flume and mill from destruction by fire, aud who gathered the ore and milled the gold have nothing to show for their wages, and it is not without reason that they inquire "Where is Savage and our gold brick?"

Tho Ottawa sent out 44 tons this week and the Enterprise 20. No other shipments wero made, although the Edison and Neepawa shipment is being hauled to Enteiprise landing and will probably go out next week.

Last week 3,900 pounds of ore from the Blaufield group on tho second north fork of Lemon creek were put through the Chapleau mill. The trial run yielded 400 pounds conceutrares which is worth $100 per ton iu gold and silver and a gold brick, valued at %%). This was the first milling test of the Blaufield ore, and the owner, Geo. Bulko, is well satisfied and is preparing to take out more ore for treatment at the Chapleau. Itawliltl.. Trail Uoiug Ahead. The Black Prince rawhide trail is now completed as far as the Lily B. An effort was made to lay out a route connecting with the Howard Fraction trail near the first switchback, but after surveying, this was found impracticable on account of the roughness of the ground. Although the line has not yet been established, it is likely that connection will bt! made witli'tht! old trail in the Arlington basin. __ Bed Fox Ships. George Henderson and Fred Johnson came down from the Red Fox last week, having takeu out another car of ore and started it on its way to the smelter. They were unable to mine in the main workings on account of water, and gathered this car from prospect tunnels nearer the surface. In about ten days they think the lower tunnel will not be so wet and theu they intend to return to work. A Sandon Deal. We learn that M. S.Logan of Nelson has taken an option on the rich Mountain Con for the sum of -So."),- 000, says the Sandon Standard. The time limit closes the last day of this month.

There was not a cloud on the horizon until a young man named Harry lieeoliinan came into the neighborhood to sell and to show the farmers how to set up wire fencing. Ile secured board nt Hurl* btlrt's and at once became "struck" on Bessie, llis admiration naturally pleased her, and when poople began to hint that It: was a case of love a new Idea came into her father's head. Ho knew Joe to be an honest, hardworking young man, and the question of money hail never come up. II' be married Pessie he would lake her to his own house nntl provide for her as well as a farmer would be expect eil to. It was only after Ibe wire feme man came and exhibited his "roll" and talk- U BB JAMMED HIM UP AC.AINST THK OMANAUY DOOlt. ed of stocks and loads aud bank accounts that Farmer Hurlburt realized what a good thin:-; it would be to have a wealthy son-in-law. Young Bcecbman encouraged the feeling in both fnther and mother, and bla lavishness in buying presents for Beside would have carried a less sensible girl off her feet. But when he began lo court in earnest she began to draw away, and ,loe Green had nothing to ba Jealous of. It was soon discovered, however, that he had a light on band. The spirit of avarice had been awakened in the souls of the parents, and it ■was not long before they had a good deal to say to Bessie and something as well to her lover. "Look here. Joe," said Farmer Hurlburt, who prided himself on bis plain {.peaking. "I have said that you were one of the best young fellers in this ■county, but you ain't just the match for Bessie. She's smart antl good looking ■nd one of the sort who ought to live in town and wear silks ant! satins Instead of plodding away on a farm. 1 don't want to hurt your feelings, but I wish you'd look around for some other ein." "You want her to marry the wire fence man, 1 take it," said Joe in reply. "Yes, Joe: 1 do. He's got money. lie's making more of it. He'll be as rich as Viinderbilt in teu years more. He offered to lend mo $50 (he other day Without any security at all. He's .not only In the wire fence business, but he's into windmills und drainpipe and patent farm gales.

Bessie was told at tbe same tlaie that she would tie expected lo dlscour* nge joe ami encourage the other one, laud, though she promptly rebelled, her tMMOtS put the foot down in a most •vigorous way. in a manner the Held was left clear for the wire fence man. Unfortunately for him. he was a boaster and a braggart He wits making a few dollars, but could not count mi anything permanent. Ho realized that if he got tbe farmer's daughter at all it would be through thu aid uf money, and ho began to plan und Scheme. Circumstances aided him. One day lie received a private and confidential letter from New York. An Individual In lhat city had got possession of a bank note plate and was printing greenbacks by the tens of thousands. lie WM willing that others should nhnre la his good luck. He was so willing that he would sell greenbacks for id cents on tho dollar and warrant thnn to pass current anywhere. It was the old, old green goods game, and young Beechman bit. In turn be became no generous hearted tbnt he was willing to let Farmer Hurlburt in on the SpoC, Together tilt j* hoped to raise Jo'JU in cash, and • ftcr some correspondence with the liberal minded man in New York it was decided tbat the Wire fence man should make a little journey und bring back ten for one. The farmer so'd a horse, a cow and three hogs to make up bis share of tlie money, and his prospective son-in-law started for the east. Joe nnd Bessie hail not quarreled. He had ceased hoeing potatoes to dig holes along the creek and look for the black stuff that had made so many men rich. In a sense they were waiting for things to turn up. "Sarah," said tbe farmer to his wife afler lleechnian had departed, "how woultl you like to hnve silk dresseu all the rest of your life'.'" •'Don't scare a body to death, father," she replied. "I know you and Harry are going to make millions of money, anil I'm so nervous that I break dishes every time I clear the table off." "Bessie," he continued as be turned to the daughter, "how would you like to ride out in n carriage drawn by four white horses nnd have so many diamonds on that you shone like the sun?" "If .Too finds nn oil well he may buy me a diamond ring," she quietly answered. "Don't you keep it up aliout Joe. Hell never find no oil wells, or, if be does, it will bo nfter you are married and living in a palace and litr ing forty servants to wait on you. Me and your mother have set out to get you a feller worth $1.000,000, nnd when you are receiving tlie president of the United States ln your own castle you'll be glad you had sueh a father nnd mother." A few days Inter Bessie set out to spend the afternoon with n neighbor. She had not been gone abovo an hour when young Beeelininu returned from his journey. He carried a tin box under his arm, the key thereof in his pocket and exultation in his heart. Soon after his arrival the two men went to the barn lo count over their "ten to one." Tbe box was unwrapped, tlie key inserted and the packages tak en out to be counted. Tben there came an interval, during which time the wire fence man and the farmer looked into each other's pale face and spoke no word. The "motley" was green It] color, but that was all. Young Iicech- man had been done up a* thousand.-" before bad been done ami lia.'i brought 'jack only blanks. They were still looking nt each other and licking their dry lips when Joe and Bessie drove up to the gate. As she entered the bouse Joe bitched the horse aud came out to the barn. "I just wanted to say," he quietly observed, "t!:;it four days ngo I found oil along the creek and that this afler noon Bessie nnd I Went to Justice Jordan and got married." In reply Tanner Hurlburt got up and took young Beechman by the collar and slammed hlui up against the fan* ning mill and then Jammed lilm up against the granary door nnd then walloped blm till over the door and ended by throwing him outdoors ami sending a kick after him. Then he turned to the newly made husband and held out his hand aud said: "Joe Green, there's only one feel in the Hurlburt family, and that's me. Let's go In and have some cider and kiss tho bride." **>*>9**>Q ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*> >♦♦♦«>•*>•'>♦♦♦* ♦ WESTERN CANADIAN EDITORS ♦ ♦ A series of articles describing % their lives, their aims and their influence. r-j.

He was then a boy of fourteen, having been born In tho Royal City Juno 7. 1865, ll" worked bis way upward from galloy boy. uml ufter eight, .veals calne west, Mr. la. |L, Christie, Brandon's big bookseller, was establishing a book nnd Job [printing oflleo, and of this ho put j Mr. Purcell in charge. Those wero the days when typographic oxcollence Was a factor but little appreciated [in the West, but tho now Job oflleo set to work tO cultivate a taste for individualism and quality in prlnt- iing products, and in consoquence speedily gathered to itself a practical monopoly of high-class work fron lie* West, The standard of bxcollcnca .on which Mr. I'urcell Insisted vvas n liberal education to Ids coropotltors, I and (lie whole rang" of quality In [tho Wesl was nf necessity raised to meet tho new mark bis ollice hnd set i'or nine years Mr. riirc'll dircotcd the Christie Job plant, when in 1897 the concern acqulrod tho Ilrandon Times, and Mr. Purcoll was given the editorial charge and control ol the paper. As au editor his career duplicated the success he had already achieved as a job plant manager, The news of the paper was reorganized, and a higher quality of work roquired, The paper took a new lease of life, and speedily became one of the best paying propositions in the West. Its editorials wero usually l'hiin, pithy business talks, of a kind most impressive and convincing. Outside Winnipeg, the Conservative party In the West had no moro loyal or able supporter than the Brandon Times, while, as might |>o expected Irom Mr. Purcell's record, the make-UP and appearance of tho 'limes was a model to the whole western press. la April last year Jlr. Purcell acquired au interest in lhe Sun, Brandon's daily newspaper. Under hi? management the paper has improved in both its appearance and its news service. Its advertising patronage and its circulation have both increased enormously, and its hold on popular favor is stronger than ever. Moreover, there Is no sign of stoppage to its growth. Mr. Purcell is dcvuling the same energy to the upbuilding of the Sun as he did aforetime to that of its competitor, and with results as apparent. His striking success in Ibis regard having, in the same town, twice demonstrated Iiis capacity and ability as director of every department of a newspaper, is a record of which any man might well be proud, and Which has not been duplicated by any other Journalist In the West. SALT AND ICE. The I'l'iirca) Tlmt tie Klin When th* Two Arc .tilled. It Is not correct to say that salt dissolves iee, since real solution only takes place when a solid, liquid or gas is dissolved in a liquid, The true explanation of the fact that Ice melts when common salt is added to it depends upon the simple physical principle that when a salt ls dissolved In water heat is absorbed, and its temperature is lowered. When salt and ice nre mixed together some of the salt dissolves in tlie small amount of water which is always (present, the temperature is thereby lowered, und a new freezing point i.s established. The remainder of tho ice—being at a temperature higher than this new freezing point—slowly melts, and more salt is dissolved until the solution Is saturated. The temperature can in this way be lowered to L*_" degrees O, which is the freezing point of a definite compound of salt and water. The salts dissolved in sea waters serve n very important purpose, as it requires a greater degree of cold to cause the formation of Ice on tbem than on fresh water. ANCIENT CURRENCY. The CT.Iiiciao Once luni Smnll Bromr KnlvpB I'or Money. Knife money, a species of ancient Chinese currency, wns associated with tlie state of Ts'i, one of tbe most powerful of the early subdivisions of the Celestial Empire, which came into power B. C. 1122 and was subdued by flio rival state of Tsin, I!. C. -'-i. This quaint form of money consisted of small curved bronze knives, some seven inches in length, with inscribed blades and handles terminating in rings. This knife money dropped out of uso with the reduction of Ts'i, but was revived by the usurper Wang Siang, who was murdered A. V. '_'.'!. The issues of this potentate were half ns long again as the earlier currency. They were also much thicker, nnd the ring ut the end of tin.' handle was replaced by a rim and central Bqnare hole resembling the hole in the modern "cash." Otlier Chinese currencies of great antiquity and of similar sort were adze money, or small hatchets, witli such varieties of tool currency as chisels, spades and planes, all of which passed Irom hand to band In the ordinary way us a circulating medium. THE WORD "HANDICAP." II Comes Frnm the Anelent I u»liim af liiinil In the Cap. In former days a "handicap" wns conducted thus: A, wishing for something which belonged to B, say a horse, would offer his watch for it. If A agreed, C was chosen to lix the sum that should be given by one or .he other to make the exchange fair. The three then put down a stake, and A und B, each holding a ploee of money, put their bands Into a cop or hat, or Into their pockets, while c, enlarging un tin* I'e.pe ;n,. merits of tbo horse and watch, made bis award iu as rapid and complex a manner as possible, ending It willi tbe words, "Druw, gentlemen I" A and B Instantly drew out nnd opened their hand.*, ii money appeared iu both thc exchange was made; if In one only, or in neither, lhe award was orr, and In every ease c took tbo Btitkcs.

It has the most direct bearing on the general health. It" women knew bow to adjust corsets properly they would prove a blessing Instead of the curse they have been. Use two strings (not three, as many do in order to be able to "pull ln" the waist). Lace the lirst from the bottom up to the waist line, tho second from the waist line to the top. Let the strings hang loosely until the garment is on and hooked. Then the abdomen should be pressed up Into place by the hands, not pushed down, us usual, and the lower string drawn up and fastened. The shape of the corset holds the abdomen In place. Tho upper string Is left very loose and fastened. This permits the lungs to be tilled with nir. This ls the only healthful way to wear a corset, and If so worn It acts its a support to the organs and also to the* ctothllft. By lirst adjusting nnd fastening the lower part, then by drawing a very deep breath wlUle the tipper string lajtnoke all wrong Kid entirely loose, one can tcJI how much ••slack" should be left In order to have unrestricted breathing.

No Krnnch of Silence has mnde Greater Advancement Than Hint of Medicine —Thousands of Lives Prolonged by Modern Discoveries. "Few things have developed ns nip- idly during the past quarter of a Centura as the science of medicine," suid a well know n practitioner recently. "And undoubtedly the most striking phase in its progress is In the treut- ment of the blood. In the old days it was thought thut opening a vein and letting tlie blood out wus a :ure for must discuses, 'i'he utter fallacy of that theory was discovered after a whilo. Then the symptoms of the disease were treated and the •.dood disregarded, That also has been shown to be a wrong practice, for, though driven uway for u time, tho symptoms ulways return if tho cause is not removed, and thu disease is worse than before. It is the root of the disease that must be attacked, nnd the most important development of modern medical science has been In discovering that, In most diseases, tliis lies In tlie condition ol the blood. If ihe blood is thin and pour, the nerves and vital organs Cannot receive their proper nourishment, the system becomes rundown and in a condition to invite disease. Uuild up tho blood, restore the worn- ;>ut nerves and you remove the cause. When th* cause is roiio the disease will vanish." An Instance of the truth of ibis is given by Miss A. M. Tuckoy, Ox- drift, Ont., who says:—"1 do not know what would have become of me had it not boen for l>r. Williams' Pink Pills. My blood seemed to have turned to water, and 1 was troubled with dizziness, hcahaches and Reti- ?ral prostration. 1 tried several medicines but instead of irettiiiK better I was gradually but surely growing worse. I became so weuk I could no longer work, and it was while in this condition I wus advised to try Dr. Williams' I'ink Tills. After using the pills for n few weeks I began to gain in strength; my appetite returned, the headaches and dizziness vanished, and before long 1 whs enjoying ns good health as over I bad done in my life. 1 cannot thank you enough for the good the pills have done me, and I hope they will long continue to help other sufferers." Indigestion, neuralgia, henrt trouble, nnaemin. kidney nnd liver complaints, rheumatism, thc functional ailments of women, and a host of other troubles are all a disease of thc blood, and that is why they arc always cured by the use of Dr. William's I'ink l'ills, which actually make new, rich, red blood, thus reaching the rout of tho disease and driving it from the system. The great success of this medicine has induced some unscrupulous dealers to offer pink colored imitations, You enn protect yourself against these hy seeing that tho full name "Ur.

Mrs. John Mylos, senior, of South Woodslee, Essex County, Ont.. is well known throughout the surrounding country because of her work among the sick and suffering, and it was on account of over-exertion in this regard that her health broke down, and she lay weak and helpless, a victim of nervous prostration. Doctors could not help her, and sho resolved to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. As a result sho has boen thoroughly restored, and by recommending this treatment to others has boen thc means of bringing back health and happiness to mnny a weakened and discouraK*i*d sufferer from diseases of tho nerves. Mrs. Myles writes:—"When I began the use of Ur. Chase's Nerve Food 1 was confined to my bed with what tho doctors said was nervous prostration. My stomach was very weak, and I could not sleep at all for any length of time. Nervous chills and trembling woultl como over me at times and I seemed to be getting weaker and weaker all the time. There was nlso pains on top of tho head, which caused m» much suffering and anxiety. "After using half a dozen boxes,of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I began to gain in weight and to feel stronger. Since then I have been gradually restored to health, and in looking back can say that the improvement has beon something wonderful. I used in nil forty boxes of the preparation, and feel it a duty, as well as a privilege, to recommend it to all who a,r« suffering from nervous disorders. Several persons to whom I have described my case have used it and been, cured, and I am sure that I owe my presont geod health, if not lifo itself, to Dr. Chaso's Nerve Food." v Dr. Chase's Nervo Food. 50 cents a box, nt all dealers, or Edmonson, Dates & Company, Toronto.

"Few things have developed as rapidly during the past quarter ol a cen- ture as the science of medicine," said a well known practitioner recently. "And undoubtedly the most striking phaso in its progress is in the treatment of the blood. In tbe old duys it was thought that opening a vein and letting the blood out wus a :ure for most diseases. Tbo utter fallacy of tin. t theory was discovered 9-ftcr a while. Then the symptoms of the disease were treated and the blood disregarded. That nlso bas been shown to be a wrong practice, Tor, though driven uway for a time, thc symptoms always return if the zauso is not removed, and thu disease is worse than before, lt is the root of the disease tlmt must be attacked, and the most important development of modern medical science lias been in discovering that, in most diseases, this lies in the condition of the blood. If ihe blood is thin and poor, the nerves and vital organs "annot receive their proper nourishment, the system becomes rundown and In a condition to invito disease, lluild up tho blood, restore the worn- out nerves and you remove the cause. (Vhen tho cause is gone the disease will vanish." An instance of the truth of this is given by Miss A. M. Tuekey, Ox- irift, Ont., who says:—"1 do not know what would have become of me had it not been for Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills, My blood seemed to havo turned to water, and 1 was troubled with dizziness, hoahaches and general prostration. 1 tried several medicines but instead of getting better I was gradually but surely growing worse. 1 became so weak I could no longer work, and it was while In 'his condition I was advised to try l>r. Williams' I'ink Pills. After using the pills for a few weeks I began to gain in strength; my appetite returned, the headaches and dizziness vanished, and before long 1 was enjoying as good health as ever I had done in my life. I cannot thank you enough for the good the pills have done me, and I hope they will long continue to help other sufferers." Indigestion, neuralgia, henrt trouble, anaemia, kidney and liver complaints, rheumatism, the functional ailments of women, and a h< st of other troubles are all a disease of the blood, and thai is why they are always cured by the use of Ur. William's Pink Pills, which actually make new. rich, red blood, thus reaching tho root of the disease and driving it from the system. The great success of this medicine has induced some unscrupulous dealers to offer pink colored imitations. You can proiOCt yourself against these bv seeing thai the full name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lor Pale People" is printed on the wrapper around every box.

Montreal Winnipeg Dawson l For Months Mrs. Myles Lay a Helpless Sufferer- Attributes Restoration to Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Mrs. John Myles, senior, of South Woodslee, Essex County, Ont., is well known throughout the surrounding country because of her work among the sick and suffering, and it was on account of over-exertion in this rogard that her health broke down, and she lay weak and helpless, a victim of nervous prostration. Doctors could not help her, and ehe resolved to try Ur. Chase's Nerve Food. As a result she has been thoroughly restored, and by recommending this treatment to others has been the means of bringing back health and hnppiness to many a weakened and discouraged sufferer from diseases of the nerves. Mrs. Myles writes:—"When I began the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I was confined to my bed with what the doctors said wits nervous prostration. My stomach was very- weak, and I could not sleep at all for any length of time. Nervous chills and trembling would come over me at times and I seemed to be getting weaker and weaker all tha time. Thero was also pains on top of thc head, whieh caused m« much suffering and anxiety. "After using half a dozen boxes.of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I began to gain in weight and to feel stronger. Since then I have been gradually restored to health, and in looking.back can say that the improvement haa been something wonderful. I used in all forty boxes of the preparation and feel it a duty, as well as a privilege, to recommend it to all who ftfe suffering from nervous disorders. Several persons to whom I havo described my case have used it and been cured, and I am sure that I owe my present geod health, if not lifo IU self, to Dr. Chase's Nerve food." s, Dr. Chaso's Nerve Food, 50 cc*nt9 a box, at all dealers, or Fdmanson, Hates & Company, Toronto.

Peaches were not numbered among the attractions at the Nelson fair until the delegation of young ladies from Slooan arrived. With a zinc enriching plant in operation ut Rosebery nnd another in Kaslo tho much talked of zinc problem for the Slocan should be a thing fit the past. Considerable public attention is being directed toward the Ottawa mine nowadays because it is lieing made to pay dividends, and, while it is undoubtedly a rich propeity, there is nothing phenomenal about it. Let any one of the spendthrift managers who have run other properties on the Slocan lake watershed into debt take .charge of the Ottawa and there would soon be a call to the Pittburg owners to "dig up." With a little capital to start and sound, practical mining and business management there is much niore mining property to pay as well the Ottawa in the Slocan. The citizens of Cranbrook, Enderby and Ymir are considering incorporpor- ation. All are growing, thrifty towns that need improvements, the expense of which is too great to be met by voluntary subscrition, where all property owners would not bear their share alike. A careful study of the life of each of the smaller cities of British Columbia since incorporation will afford them a good lesson in how to govern themselvos. If a list of the mistakes made by every municipality in British Columbia were compiled it would make an instructive book for the mayors and aldermen of all the cities, -both young aud old. The proposed call fora second peace conference at The Hague by the president of tho United States has beeu favorably commented on in Europe. It is suggested, however, in official and diplomatic circles that the moment for apeace conference is not opportune in view of the war prevailing in the Orient and the unwillingnesss of the belligerents to bind themselves to any act which would restrict their operations. The offiicials and diplomats have expressed the hope that the president, when he extends the the invitation, will fix a date so that the meeting will occur after Japan and Russia have arranged for peace. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, the mighty railway magnate, and his party of high-grade subordinate* passed around the Silvery Slocau and saw nothing of the hive of industry that will produce millions in gold and silver long after their souls have crossed the last tlivide anil their bodies made-Jiieals for the maggots. Even if they were so disposed thev could not have enjoyed the grandest seonery of their might; road on account of the smoke; but after alia railroad man is like a prospector, Both will pass uiiiippreeiativi'ly by the grandest flights of nature, one thinking only of his dividends and the other his bacon and terns. To J. G. Gwiilim, uow professor in the applied science department of Queen's university, Kingston, Ontario, is due the credit for the discovery of the anthracite coal deposits at Bank- head, near Banff, Alberta, says the Nelson News. Professor Gwiilim has been in the habit of devoting hissum- nier vacations to geological work for the C. P. It. and it was when thus employed tlmt he made the discovery. Without thought of self enrichment lit; at onee made known tho facts of his discovery to his employers. Professor Gwiilim has a very enviable reputation as mining engineer and his friends here will learn with pleasure that he is meeting with full measure of success iu his professorial duties at, ,Queen's university.
